Book Review: The World is Flat by Thomas L. Friedman : The mechanisms of globalisation

It can be hard for busy professionals to find the time to read the latest books. Stay up to date in a fraction of the time with this concise guide.

The World is Flat is an award-winning book by three-time Pulitzer Prize winner Thomas Friedman. It combines meticulous research, personal anecdotes and conceptual analysis to provide a comprehensive yet accessible overview of the mechanisms behind globalisation in the 21st century, along with recommendations for individuals and companies who want to thrive in the new, ‘flat’ world. Although some economists and academics have challenged Friedman’s views, The World is Flat met with general critical and popular success when it was first published in 2005, and became an international bestseller.

This book review and analysis is perfect for:

• Anyone who wants to learn about the processes behind globalisation

• Individuals and companies looking to meet the challenges of the new global market

• Students of business, politics or economics
